A remarkable lookout located on a dune in Arcachon, a privileged vantage point of the Ville d'Hiver.

This viewpoint, also called Sainte-Cécile observatory, is located on the dune of the same name. Privileged viewpoint of the Winter City, it dominates Arcachon from the top of its 15 meters. This metal tower was built in 1863 by the architect and engineer Paul Régnauld (who had a certain Gustave Eiffel as an assistant) and offers one of the most beautiful views of the basin. Limited to 8 people, the access can be impressive since the spiral staircase is only held by ropes and cables. One shakes sometimes while going up, but the game is worth the candle.

Ce belvédère offre une vue somptueuse sur le bassin d'ARCACHON. C'est un détour incontournable, mais compte tenu que l'accès par la passerelle Saint-Paul est restreint, peu de personnes peuvent y accéder , ce qui est problématique en période d'affluence touristique.
Privilégiez l'aube et le lever de soleil pour profiter d'une vue exceptionnelle par ses couleurs.

La vue est superbe, on reste sans voix, c'est vrai que la montée est un peu impressionnante et déconseillée si on a vraiment le vertige mais sinon ça fait partie du charme de cette visite.

Magnifique ! le point de vue d'en haut sur le bassin d'Arcachon est imprenable et vaut la peine de monter, même si l'escalier parait un peu bancal (mais c'est plus une impression)
